Conjunctions and Prepositions

Now that we know more about using nouns, adjectives, pronouns, verbs, and adverbs, we need to learn how they can be put together to make sentences. Conjunctions and prepositions help us do that. Let's see what additional information we can review to learn more about how conjunctions and prepositions are used to make sentences.

Conjunctions and prepositions are different from the other parts of speech we reviewed so far. Nouns, verbs, adverbs, and adjectives have meaning and can stand alone in a sentence. However, conjunctions and prepositions cannot do that. They simply have a grammatical function to connect or show relationships between the other parts of speech.
